Ariiko took back her pipe, and dumped out the contents of mint and tobacco before placing it back into her pouch. Next thing she knew the priestess had her arms wrapped around her, talking about how she loved Amaterasu. She allowed the priestess to take comfort on her shoulder. She hadn't seen much but understood how confused the journey was making her. Hanami's love for Amaterasu made her consider her own damnation, taking on a pact with the Demon Who Consumes Fire. She looked at the sun. The Demon who Consumes Fire... Ukiyoee Ida... Did that make Ida Amaterasu's nemesis? Were the two partial embodiment's of the yin and yang to the legends sitting on this roof, allowing each other comforts through speech? Despite wondering this, Ida remained silent. The Demoness must have been sleeping, Ariiko decided. 
She looked at the sun, allowing its warmth to cover her and Hanami. She felt a strange bond forming between the two of them and, feeling almost like a guardian with Hanami resting her head on her shoulder, Ariiko let an armored hand hold the back of Hanamis head to her chest, to allow her more of a comfort. She liked this, being looked to as a comfort source, though she considered, if she would allow this woman to be her friend, she had to show her, somehow, that she appreciated her company.
